Working to the right, No. 1 spoke is passed in front of No. 2 spoke and back of No. 3 spoke. Each spoke is treated likewise, in front of the first to the right, and back of the second.
Handle
Insert the ends of the 18 inch spoke well down the sides of the tray. In coil effect, weave eight
rows of No. 2 reed around the handle, covering it entirely, as illustrated in Model No. 18. In this tray the size should be just large enough to allow the dish to be removed easily.

CANDY TRAY NO. 2
Fig. 60
Material
16 spokes No. 2 reed, 25 inches. Handle—2 spokes No. 5 reed, 20 inches. Weavers No. 2 reed.
This tray is woven similar to the preceding one, excepting the top, where the weaving is continued over the dish until five rows are finished. While weaving the last five rows, the spokes are bent in towards the dish, and the weaver pulled tight. Working in this manner holds the dish from slipping out and makes a rounded effect at the top. The handle is made of two spokes, which are pressed into an oval shape and it is finished by twisting No. 2 reed around it as shown in Fig. 60.
